Hi Listers, Can someone please let me know of a website that lists the years in which there were outbreaks of infectious diseases in the UK over time. It's been posted on the list before, but I can't seem to find it. George GOULD died in Litton in 1857 of "Scrofula" (TB). He was only 24 years old and a shoemaker by trade. I was wondering whether this was an isolated case, or part of a local outbreak, or a national one ? Best wishes, Mike Gould Leicestershire

Hi Mike TB or Consumption was endemic in the population until the arrival of penicillin. Scrofula affected the Lymph nodes usually in the neck but could be elsewhere.
